Structure

• src/server should contain all the web-server logic
  • src/server/routes should define all routers
  • src/server/middlewares contains all custom middlewares like exception handling, validation, etc.
• src/handlers should contain all the logic. Handlers act as a logical middleware between router and repository ( that's not a part of this repo )
